xmake run cannot find shared libs

[qiuwei]

The project compiles without any issue.

The project is organized as

/celere
xmake.lua
/gateway_xtp
     xmake.lua

the parent xmake.lua includes the subdirectiry gateway_xtp . the content for gateway_xtp is

target("xtp_md")
    set_kind("binary")

    add_deps("celere")

    add_includedirs("include", "external/2.2.33.5/include")
    add_linkdirs("external/2.2.33.5/lib")
    add_links("xtpquoteapi", "xtptraderapi")
    add_installfiles("external/2.2.33.5/lib/*", {prefixdir="lib"})
    add_syslinks("atomic", "pthread", "rt")

    add_headerfiles("include/(*/*.h)", "include/*.h", "include/(*/*.hpp)", "include/*.hpp", "include/(*/*/*.hpp)")
    add_files("src/**.cpp|xtp_td.cpp")
    add_includedirs("$(buildir)/$(plat)/$(arch)/$(mode)/")

xmake run xtp_md fails with

home/rnd/Projects/celere/build/linux/x86_64/release/xtp_md: error while loading shared libraries: libxtpquoteapi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have used xmake run successfully in other projects using a similar setup, but could not find why it fails this time.
How can I check the env variables used by xmake run? I tried add prints in .local/share/xmake/modules/private/action/run/make_runenvs.lua but could not see any output.

BTW, I am using xmake v2.7.8+master.2ff74cf8e on ubuntu 20.04

you can use add_rpathdirs to add rpath.

I thought add_linkdirs would be enough for xmake run.
If I understand it correctly, the rpath is supposed to work after the program is deployed. Apparently, the bin and lib directory layout would not be the same as for development. So I am not sure rpath should be used in this case.

make_runenvs just add $PATH on windows now, not $LD_LIBRARY_PATH on linux.

you can use set_runenv to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
